Fresh Rhubarb Pie
Ingredients
- Pastry for 2 crust pie
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour or 2 Tbsp tapioca
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel, optional
- 1/2 tsp salt, optional
- 4 cup rhubarb, cut in 1/2" pieces
- 1 to 2 Tbsp butter
Instructions
Combine sugar, flour, orange peel and salt. Add to rhubarb. Place in pastry lined pan and dot with butter. Adjust top crust and cut vents. If desired, brush milk or water on the top crust and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake at 425F oven 40-50 min or until juice is starting to bubble out of the vents, and the crust is browned. Note: If your rhubarb is not the red variety, you can add a couple drops of red food coloring to make it a prettier pie. Variation: Omit orange peel and add 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg.
